- Description
- This chapter synthesizes results from examining service-learning initiatives tailored for Indigenous adolescents. The authors emphasize customized educational approaches, community collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. The Paniya Tribes case study in Wayanad illustrates efforts of this kind that seek to address historical inequities and enhance students' academic performance, life skills, and engagement. The enduring impact extends beyond academics, empowering young people to take on leadership roles. Cultural sensitivity and the responsible application of technology are two factors that can significantly impact Indigenous education's trajectory in the future. Implementing suggested strategies and optimal methods advances inclusive and culturally attuned education, thereby preserving Indigenous cultures and fostering sustainable development. 2024, IGI Global.
